From Earth to Art: About Us
Terremaati is the story of two childhood friends who rekindled their shared love for
pottery as adults. Our journey began with a passion for clay, a natural material that
has connected cultures and traditions for centuries. The name “Terremaati”
symbolizes this connection: “Terre” means clay in French, and “Maati” means clay in
Hindi.
Our tagline, "From Earth to Art," encapsulates our mission. Each product begins with the raw, organic beauty of the earth, shaped and transformed by skilled artisans into
unique pieces of art. This transformation mirrors our own journey, where our love for
pottery evolved into a brand that celebrates creativity, tradition, and sustainability.
At Terremaati, we believe that every piece we create tells a story. As Lao Tzu said,
"We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we
want." Each product is not just an object but a vessel waiting to be filled with
meaning, memories, and emotion.
Our work is rooted in the principles of sustainability and tradition. We use the Pancha
Tattva—the five elements of air, water, earth, sky, and fire—to create products that
honour the earth while sustaining the livelihoods of local artisans. Handcrafted using
time-honoured techniques, each piece is as unique as the artisan who made it.
At Terremaati, we don’t just create products—we create memories, stories, and
connections. Every piece we offer is a reminder of the natural world and the human
touch that gives it form. From Mother Earth, to the artisan, to your home, our
creations breathe life and serenity into your space.
Let Terremaati be a part of your story, just as it is a part of ours—a story of
friendship, passion, and a deep connection to the earth. Together, we bring you the
creations that transform "From Earth to Art."
